Yes, but it doesn't guarantee changes occurring from third parties, even if everything is done correctly on Rust side, and all invariants are correct, so corrupted data can be still be seen as valid.

Is there any defense at all against what you are talking about? I mean, I could use a firewire controller to modify memory without the processor or OS being aware. I suppose you could sign every block of memory using the tpm, but you'd have to the signatures in the tpm, and the code to check the signatures, and so on.

The point is that Fearless Concurrency comes with some footnotes when doing the full spectrum of systems programming.

Which tend to be ignored when talking about how Rust is so much better than anything else.

Ye it has improved some concurrency/parallelism scenarios, not all of them.
